2018 Goals

For the last three years, I've written my "One Year Goals" on a piece of paper. I choose what life focuses are important to me, write them down and place the paper right next to my laptop, so I see it everyday.

The part I like most about it is that I have a daily visual of what's important to me. It helps me a lot.

The tradition started when I was lazing around with my two best friends and some story we were discussing inspired us. We each grabbed a piece of paper, sat alone for 15 minutes and made ourselves think about what was most important to us for the next year. Then we shared it with each other.

So here's all the things I want to focus on for 2018. :)

2018 theme: take a deep breathe

So 2018 running through the whole year, I just want to learn how to breathe. Just learn how to pause, take a deep breath and have a clear head.

This is two-fold:

I panic and get overwhelmed easily. So I feel like I just want to be a little more calm, let things go that don't matter too much so I can save my energy for the things that do matter.

Taking a moment to just review things (instead of diving straight into it) actually helps me be more strategic and efficient in the way I approach things.

RElationships: maintain existing

This relates to my existing relationships with friends and family. Last year, I was lucky enough to meet a lot of new and lovely people both on my travels and on my return to Sydney.

That's why this year, I want to just maintain and build the relationships I've had with childhood friends and family, as well as the new relationships I've built.
